Rocks Cluster Distribution 6.2 发布

Rocks是一份完整的光盘机群解决方案，它面向x86及IA64的Red Hat Linux COTS机群。组建一套Rocks cluster并不需要任何机群方面的经历，实际上，机群架构师将能找到一条灵活的并且标题化的方式来重新设计整个软件栈，而这对大多数用户而言则适当地隐藏了。尽管Rocks包括了在任何机群软件结构中都应指望的工具（PBS、Maui、GM支持、Ganglia等），它的安装简易性则是独一无二的。

he latest update of Rocks codename Sidewinder is now released. Sidewinder is a 64-bit only release and is based upon CentOS 6.6   The Rocks-supplied OS rolls have all updates applied as of May 10, 2015.

Please see the Downloads Page to get started.

Release notes are available.  Support for ZFS has been updated to version 0.6.4.1. Condor is now the HTCondor roll is at release 8.2.8

Also included is support for perfSONAR, where cluster builders can decide to install the full GUI (recommended for a standalone perfSONAR host) or just the command tools.Customizing what is installed for perfSONAR gives four attributes that control which elements of perfSONAR are installed on hosts.

New to 6.2 is the ability to reconfigure the fully qualified domain name of your cluster (FQDN). There are some caveats to the process.

When building a frontend on networks with jumbo frames, the cluster builder can specify the mtu on the “build” command line.
